Dr. Nicole Rivera, Co-Founder of Integrative Wellness Group, became an Amazon Bestselling Author after her book “Eat for your Gut: Paleo-inspired recipes to reduce inflammation, improve gut health, and manage autoimmunity” hit Number 1 position in three Amazon Bestselling categories.

Dr. Nicole Rivera’s “Eat For Your Gut” Cookbook Series 1, achieved Best Seller status in four categories on Amazon. It was #1 in Food Allergies, Special Conditions, and Food Allergies Hot News Release, and #2 in Special Diet Cooking.

“Eat For Your Gut” aims to educate readers on how to eliminate foods that inflame and irritate the gastrointestinal system helping them to improve digestive issues and reduce abdominal discomfort.

“Food allergies or intolerances can be caused by a condition known as leaky gut (intestinal permeability), when proteins and food particles can pass through the gut and cause systemic body inflammation,” says Dr. Nicole Rivera, a Functional Medicine Doctor at Integrative Wellness Group, “and today, we know that this epidemic of inflammatory conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, and headaches is 100% associated with our gut being damaged or stressed.”

Researchers estimate that up to 15 million Americans have food allergies, where this potentially deadly disease affects 1 in every 13 children (under 18 years of age) in the U.S. alone. According to a study released in 2013 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, food allergies among children increased approximately 50% between 1997 and 2011.

Dr. Rivera continues, “Our food industry has changed drastically over the years and is a culprit in the increasing cases of IBS, Crohns, Colitis, and Reflux. So it’s very important that we understand the relationship between what we eat and our health, and use recipes that are easy-to-digest, anti-inflammatory and relieve any gastrointestinal discomfort,” she concludes.

Nichol Foster, an Amazon customer, had this to say about the book: “Amazing healthy recipes in one place by a fantastic professional who knows the gut the best. I was sick of going on Pinterest daily to find different recipes then forgetting to go back to the pin to try the recipe. Now I have everything right in one place and these recipes are easy and so delicious!”
